The pleasure was all mine Harald, was so lovely to spend the day with you and film this video. Look forward to spending time with you in Brugge ~Peace~
Thank you for sharing this with us. You not only show us craft, nature, etc. … you show us connecting with people which is more and more important in this modern world so obsessed with technology. Making things with our hands is a direct connection to our humanity.
Well Zed, you did it to me again! A superb video and explanation from a very talented man indeed. Thanks so much. Harald has a wonderful command of the English language and it was a pleasure to have listened to him in this entire video!! Thanks very much from Minnesota!!!
A sincere thank you for your kind words and indeed Haralds English is very good! Hope you folk are thawing out in the Minnesotae weather and take care my friend ~Peace~
Zed. I have watched your videos for many years now. This is the first time I have ever made a comment. In short … I am so pleased that there are individuals like yourself who have dedicated their time to helping others learn these amazing traditional skills. Not only for a constructive purpose, but for a general life enhancing way to reconnect with our natural world. Thank you for everything you and your fellow bush-crafters do for us all. 👍
Hi Reece, I sincerely appreciate your kind words and for watching for as long as you have, I really mean that. It's not always easy getting out and filming what with work & famly commitments, but I always try my best. Hope you enjoy this video and thank you once again ~Peace~
Thank you for the video. It might be the coolest thing I have ever seen. In my mind it would have been very difficult to make a spoon. By the demonstration it is way more logistical than imagined. Strange how one must first see it to fully understand the "why" of how things are done. Awsome video. Blessings for South Africa. 😁
So happy to hear you enjoed this video and like you, i'm amazed by the skill makers like Harald have. Stay blessed my friend and thank you for stopping by ~Peace~
Another great video! I find Harald very good in explaining what he does and for what reason (but of course he is also a professional instructor). The green wood community is SO LUCKY to have you making al this invaluable material, Zed. And lucky that wood workers like Harald fancy to show their processes and thoughts. Thanks to both of you!
Also considering that English is not Haralds native tongue, he did incredibly well explaining everything on video. As always I sincerely appreciate your kind words and for watching Jens, thank you ~Peace~
The part about deciding how you want to cut out the blank was new and very helpful. Darn if I didn’t waste some parts that I axed out today. Thanks to you and Harald.
Indeed I also noticed that too and an important reminder to us all in not wasting the wood we carve. Appreciate you watching John and happy carving! ~Peace~
Gerday mate, nice spoons, you made it look so simple, good description of what you were doing why & how to do it. Well done, your work is excellent so a big thankyou for your time. Peace ✌ ☮ out. Wayne
Thank you! I learned a lot & look forward to improving my abilities with techniques learned watching this! I’d love to buy your book here in the USA! Hope it makes it here!
Szia Zed! Én egy magyar nyugdíjas óvónéni vagyok, aki gyerekkorom óta imádom a kézművesség különböző fajtáit. Egy párat már tevőlegesen is kipróbáltam. Egy ideje rátaláltam a videóidra és rákattantam. Faragtam csanakokat is, most már három kanalat is. A videóid nagyon jók, a nyelvet nem értem, de annak ellenére nagyon sokat lehet belőlük tanulni és ezért tetszik. Minden fogást el lehet lesni a szuper ügyes mesterektől. Köszönöm, jó egészséget!
Szia barátom, öröm hallani felőled és hallani kedves szavaidat. Csodálatos magyarországi előfizetőim vannak, és nem vagyok benne biztos, hogy ismeritek Péter Kovács, akivel korábban együtt forgattam, de ő eredetileg Magyarországról származik. A legjobbakat kívánom a kézműves utadhoz, és elnézést kérek a rossz nyelvtanomért, mivel a Google fordítót használom az íráshoz! :) ~Peace~
I’ve said it before and I’ll likely say it again but thank you both for providing these long form videos that show the whole process in real time. It’s a wonderful opportunity to learn from masters at the craft, thank you both very much.
Hi Josh, I sincerely appreciate your kind words and for watching. It's heartening to hear you've found these videos useful, I know the longer formats are not to everyones taste, but I am striving to encapsulate the entire process so that no stone gets left unturned. Stay blessed my man ~Peace~
Zed. I'm very impressed with the quality of Harald's teaching here. I've enjoyed many other spoon carver videos too from you. I have to make one small complaint. A bit of camera work improvement would help many of us a lot. The camera pans thru things way too fast in the beginning. You can't even pause it because it is blurry. Also, while it is very nice to go from far to near, the jiggling of the camera is so pronounced that it really detracts from the experience. I realize that you don't have a professional camera crew, but keeping the camera on a tripod or something would help. Would I prefer a slick video? nope. This is great, as have your other videos. keep them long is fine. But it would help. For those of us that want to take screenshots of sections to compare to our own carving, it would help a lot. thanks.
Hi, Paul, I appreciate you watching and for the kind words regarding Haralds teaching, he's a stellar guy. Reg the feedback reg my filming, yes I have lots to learn and try to improve that bit more every time I film. Reg the jiggling of the camera, until I am able to afford a gimbal, I can only try my best to keep the camera still and it is important that I hold the camera as opposed to being on a tripod so that I can capture the many different angles whilst the subject is doing his/her thing. Reg panning around too fast, yes I will take that on board, but also bear in mind that I don't want to spend too long focused on one thing otherwise the video will end up a lot longer than it currently is. Filming a video tutorial of this nature is actually a very hard thing to do as I am trying to capture so many different things and at a dynamic pace due to keeping up with the craftsperson I am documenting. Also, I try my best with the equipment I have and in a relatively short time frame on the day of filming. That being said, I have lots to learn and improve upon when it comes to filming ~Peace~
Oh wow nice! I have travelled through Belgium but alas didn't have time to stop off at Bruge, really hoping to go back and explore the place more. Sincerely appreciate you watching Katie and take care ~Peace~
Carving a spoon while drinking coffee and listening to the rain, sounds like the best way to relax. Thanks again, these always help me realize small mistakes I'm making.
Zed, thank you for putting this together! Love the work you do! Harald, thank you so much for the teaching. You gave incredible tips that I will be putting into practice. Beautiful spoon, and great explanations! Cheers!
Thanks Harald and Zed!. Another 2 hours well spent. The section on dealing with grain direction change at the neck narrows was very helpful. I have a number of spoons with spider-leg narrow necks after near infinite corrections.😧
Indeed I also liked how Harald explained the grain direction and how to deal with. Sincerely appreciate your kind words and for watching, happy carving my friend! ~Peace~
Thank you all for the kind responses!
The pleasure was all mine Harald, was so lovely to spend the day with you and film this video. Look forward to spending time with you in Brugge ~Peace~

Amen to that my friend ...amen 🙏 ~Peace~
Your videos have a big part in making the carving community bigger. They surely inspired me❤️👏🙏🌷
That's a delight to hear Shahar and I sincerely thank you for your kind words ~Peace~

Harald! Fifty spoons from 50 different trees? I love that idea! We are carved from the same branch. 👍
That project also sounded fascinating to me, appreciate you watching Liz thank you ~Peace~
I was surprised to see how cleanly he cuts, sometimes apparently against the grain. Wonderful video. Halfway in
And what Harald mentions at 1;04;48 I always struggle with the neck where you have tiny lips of wood that stick out
Am chuffed to hear you found this video useful and I sincerely appreciate your kind words, thank you ~Peace~
I love "the axe hand is the machine, the other hand is the artist" 💛
I loved that quote too 🙌 ~Peace~
Gerday mate, nice spoons, you made it look so simple, good description of what you were doing why & how to do it. Well done, your work is excellent so a big thankyou for your time. Peace ✌ ☮ out. Wayne
Sincerely appreciate you watching and for the kind words Wayne, thank you ~Peace~
I've never tried to whittle a spoon . Looks interesting .
Lots of video tutorials on my channel covering the topic, hopefully inspires you to carve your own ...stay blessed my friend ~Peace~
@@Zedoutdoors peace .. I will give it a try
fantastic. thank you. harald is a kind soul.
He is indeed and is just as nice off camera. Thank you for the kind words and for watching ~Peace~
Thank you!
I learned a lot & look forward to improving my abilities with techniques learned watching this!
I’d love to buy your book here in the USA! Hope it makes it here!
Sincerely appreciate your kind words and indeed there are lots of us eagerly awaiting Haralds book! ~Peace~

Most definitely, Harald is skilled at a variety of craft and thank you for watching! ~Peace~
Bruges is one of the most beautiful places I've traveled to. Just amazing.
